I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 197 The Accident

"Mrs. Martin? I'm Curtis!" Curtis was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Harper to call the secretary's office.

Harper was also a little surprised, but she became calm soon. She stated the purpose of the call, "Yes. The project manager of Summit Realty wants to ask Mr. Martin about the project. Is it convenient for Mr. Martin to answer the phone?"

Curtis was a professional secretary. With her business-like tone, Curtis immediately understood what she meant. He said calmly, "Mrs. Martin, I can't give you an answer about the project for the time being because Mr. Martin is on a business trip."

"Business trip? When was it?"

Harper was slightly startled.

"He drove from the resort to Dovie directly. According to the company's schedule, Mr. Martin will not be able to return to Mayby in two days, so..."

"Okay, I get it."

Harper narrowed her eyes slightly and then interrupted Curtis directly.

After ending the call, Harper looked at David. She said with an indifferent expression, "You heard it. It's not that I don't help, it's that I can't do anything. There is no reply from the Martin Group, so I have no choice but to wait."

David watched Harper call the Martin Group throughout the whole process and only learned that Benjamin was on a business trip, so he stopped embarrassing her. He just urged Harper to try her best to find a solution, but actually he was completely guilt-tripping Harper in this way.

After David left, Harper felt extremely tired.

She had no idea that Benjamin was on a business trip, so she felt inevitably a little surprised.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

She thought, "Why didn't Curtis go with him? Did he go on a business trip alone?"

The more she thought about it, the more annoyance she felt. She closed her eyes and shook her head to interrupt her thoughts. Then she put herself into work to stop herself from thinking about anything related to Benjamin.

It was almost evening after work. Annie didn't want to go out to eat, so Harper drove to the Silver. She got some food to go and drove back to the apartment. Harper didn't notice anything unusual at first, but when she was about to arrive at the apartment, she suddenly noticed a car following her in the rearview mirror. Harper frowned slightly, but after hesitating for a second or two, she turned around at the intersection ahead.

She had just wanted to see if she was overthinking it, but the fact confirmed her suspicion. The car was indeed following her.

Harper narrowed her eyes slightly and accelerated the car, and the car behind her soon realized it.

Neither of the two cars had any intention of slowing down.

Just when Harper was about to turn,

an oncoming minivan drove at a faster speed. In order to avoid it, Harper drove directly to the trees beside the road. The car had already hit a tree before she realized it. She immediately braked, and her whole body moved forward heavily.

Fortunately, she was wearing a seat belt, so she just lurched forward due to inertia but didn't get thrown out of her seat.

Harper calmed herself down and subconsciously stretched out her hand to cover her abdomen. Then she looked in the mirror at the car behind her. Probably seeing Harper's car hit the tree, the person following her drove forward and left.

Harper held the steering wheel tightly to make her breath steady. She got out of the car to check the situation. She then called the police and waited for them. It was already dark after everything was finished. Harper called Annie. "Something happened. I have to go to the hospital now."

Heard that she was going to the hospital, Annie was anxious. "What happened?"
